Hiawatha Returns to Union Station
I missed my train to the burbs... And caught a glimpse of this historic beauty sitting on track 1. It's in Chicago as part of the Station to Station public art project. Sure, there was music and art creation in the great hall, but I just had to visit the train.
They covered the sides with LED strips that draw attention away from the car's inherent beauty but I can look past that to the historic orange of a time gone by. I wish I could tour the inside or ride with it as it heads to St. Paul (on the old Milwaukee Road I hope), Santa Fe, Winslow, Barstow, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
What a trip that would be!
